Lifetime Montessori School

Absolutely love this school! Have had two daughters here over the past year and it’s been wonderful. Ultimately it’s the caliber of the teachers that makes all the difference. The teachers (and staff) here are exceptional - they take education and academics seriously, but they’re also just awesome people that love my kids and treat them with respect and kindness every day. We’ll be back next year.

I have two children enrolled at Lifetime and they have spent time in the Toddler, Primary, and Elementary programs. I am a Montessori trained teacher myself and I have a high standard when it comes to Montessori schools. If you are looking for a truly authentic Montessori school, this is it. All of the lead teachers are trained at the highest level, the classroom environments are beautifully prepared and well maintained, and every aspect of the Montessori philosophy is followed closely. The administrative staff is welcoming, engaging, and deeply committed to the well being of the children. There is also a lot of opportunity to be involved in the community through parent volunteering and various family events through out the year. It is a wonderful school to be a part of! Our eldest child completed her Kindergarten year here and just finished her first year of Elementary. She really blossomed during her Kindergarten year. We saw so much come to fruition in terms of her social, emotional, and academic development. The work she did the first two years came full circle. She got the chance to be a leader in the classroom which matured her and grew her confidence a great deal. The teachers did a great job integrating more specific Kindergarten curriculum into every day and in weekly pull out groups. I do not believe that her Primary experience would have been complete without the Kindergarten year. Likewise, we have been beyond pleased with the Elementary program. We've seen her confidence and ownership over learning continue to grow. The students are allowed to self direct their learning while being guided by exceptional teachers who focus on the students' holistic needs and instruct in a multidimensional way. Its really fascinating to watch! She enjoys being part of a community of children that range in age and ability where there is no competition, just a lot of collaboration and sharing of knowledge. We are very glad that she has not felt any pressure from formal tests, grades, or homework. Instead, she continues to think of school as a place where learning is fun and relaxed. That has been huge for us. She has been so happy in the Elementary classroom!

WE LOVE THIS SCHOOL!!! My daughter started when she was 22 months old and we have loved our journey with them. The staff are always friendly and professional and I have loved watching how my daughter and now son have grown in this program!

My Son K going here since he was 3 year old, it has been great couple of years for us. LMS is one of the best thing happened to K, especially Ms. Cham's class. Even if he is OFF one day, he will start missing his class a lot. Everyday he has tons to talk about his class activities. K has shaped very well as young boy, his manners and kindness are always highly spoken by others, thanks for teaching him well. We would like thank every teachers & staff member who helped shaping K. Especially, Ms. Cham, Ms. Rubina, Ms. Pushti & Ms. Melissa. The teaching staff at Lifetime show compassion and patience when working with all age groups. As parents we will also miss LMS, and we are very happy K was part of this school and want to wish LMS all the best.

Incredibly beautiful school.

My son attended Lifetime Montessori for three years. They truly were three wonderful years. During this time, he blossomed into a confident and independent individual. Through love and encouragement he developed a profound love for learning and a sense of responsibility that goes beyond the classroom.

Our 4-yo daughter attended this wonderful school for 1 year before we moved out of San Diego. We loved the school, the principal, and the head teacher of our daughter's class and teachers' aide. The school is very responsive to parents' concerns if any. The class environment and the facility is wonderful. Our daughter learned so much during her year. There are also many great after-school enrichment activities. Overall we were quite pleased with this school and were very sad to leave it since we moved out of town.

This is our children's first year at LMS, but they have been in other Montessori communities since the age of 18 mos. Our daughter is 6 and in the elementary program and our son is 4 and in his second year in a primary environment. They are both very happy at LMS and have remained the same confident children through their transition into a new environment. The teachers are happy and engaged and really seem to enjoy being at the school and with the children. They understand Montessori principles and this methodology is in place in all the classrooms. The school has a lovely outdoor play area, garden and courtyard and I love that the kids go in and out of their classrooms throughout the day to garden, wash windows, etc., not just at play time. The Administration at this school is wonderful. Very engaged, easy to reach and the kids love them. I also love that on parent nights, or other events at the school, child care is provided free of charge - it makes these events so much more convenient.
